CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Some exciting news out of Montgomery County as several local teens recently won big at a cooking contest at the Kentucky State Fair.
The Montgomery County Junior Chef Team came out on top at the Junior Chef Championship. They competed against nine high school teams.
Their dishes included fresh, local ingredients from Kentucky products. The winning team prepared a Greek turkey bowl. It came with a big prize of a $10,000 scholarship from Sullivan University for each team member.
The second place team from McCracken County made a creamy sundried tomato chicken pasta, and left with scholarships as well.
If you're asking what's next for the young chefs? The winning team will compete at the Southeast Region Junior Chef Competition in May 2025.
I'm not sure there is a story that's brought a bigger smile to our faces than this one celebrating Ms. Marie. The story of her service during World War II is amazing in itself — she is a true Rosie the Riveter! What was also amazing was to see was how an entire community turned out to celebrate her. You've got to check this out!
